The Raptors are taking their time with Kawhi Leonard's rehab, as they should be in order to have him at 100 percent when the games actually start to really matter.
The Toronto Raptors announced that forward Kawhi Leonard remains in the reconditioning process for left knee swelling, with another update scheduled for next week. Writer Chris Lambert argues that taking a patient approach with Leonard's rehab is ultimately positive news for the franchise, noting that the veteran appeared visibly out of game shape during preseason and his two regular-season appearances.
Lambert contends that Toronto's training staff understands how to manage Leonard's health, pointing back to their successful 2019 title campaign. He emphasizes that the Raptors need a fully healthy Leonard later in the season and for the playoffs rather than rushing him back into early regular-season action.
